Preparation method of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of preparing ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber through gel spinning method. The method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing gel protofilament of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene; and (2) processing the gel protofilament through extracting, drying and hot drawing to obtain the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber. The method is characterized in that the method also comprises the step of pre-drawing the gel protofilament obtained in the step (1) before the step (2), wherein the pre-drawing time is 2.2-24 times and the total hot drawing time in the step (2) is 30-45 times. The method of the invention can be used to obtain ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber product with low size and high breaking strength and the production cost is low.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber. Background technique

[0002] Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber (UHMWPE) is a high-performance fiber that was successfully developed in the late 1970s and entered industrialization in the early 1980s. It is mainly produced by gel spinning. In the prior art, the main steps of the jelly spinning method are as follows: the stock solution made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder and an appropriate solvent is extruded through a screw extruder, the spinneret holes are formed, and solidified in a water bath to obtain polyethylene fibers The frozen collagen filaments, the frozen collagen filaments are extracted, dried, and superheated to obtain finished fibers, wherein, fibers with low denier or small denier are obtained by increasing the stretching ratio of the nozzle. The disadvantage of this method is that the structure of the jelly...
